      I care about my pet dog more than I care about chickens.

      I still care about them, but it’s less.

        I think that’s natural. The point of the tweet is probably to just allude to the fact that many people don’t see other animals as living beings that can suffer and feel pain just like any other living being. By comparing them to pets, they’re put closer in comparison to pets, thus maybe leading to more compassion towards them. Spitballing

          I’m in a similar boat of caring about chickens less than my pet dog. That said I don’t want the animals we farm to suffer. My opinion on that isn’t enough to move me away from eating meat, but rather I look for tasty vegetarian and vegan meals to add to my rotation (abstinence of meat isn’t my ideal, but reducing my meat consumption is).

            Ich glaube egal wie man es dreht und wendet, am Ende des Tages leidet ein Tier, auch wenn man sich einredet, es leidet weniger, kürzer, was auch immer als das standard Masttier. Ich red dir da nicht rein, aber vielleicht auch ein Punkt, den man in Erwägung ziehen könnte

      Because this user will delete comments they don’t like. Not that I disagree with this particular statement.

      However, I have responded to a specific question they had about the scientific understanding of animals and pain in a previous post, which they removed without responding to.
